The salmon is a symbol of wisdom in both Irish and Welsh myth. The source for this seems to go back to the druidic symbolism of the salmon being representative of the soul.

There is another important element I forgot to mention here and that has to do with the inspiration or madness of the fish and what drives them to undertake such a feat. That will be addressed in a future video regarding the well.
